Atlas F1 Magazine Writer
The Formula One World Championship points system was very much a topic of debate this season, some believing it does not reflect accurately the hierarchy of performance over the season. Then again, there doesn't seem to be any points system that would make everyone content, not to mention other motor racing series have vastly different points system - some award every participant, even if he retired on the first lap! Atlas F1's Marcel Borsboom used two of the previous modern F1 points systems as well as four different systems from other series - CART, IRL, NASCAR and Moto GP - to weigh the 2003 F1 World Championship. The result? Either way you play around, the Champion remains the same...
No other points awarded.
Only the best 11 results per driver are included. (results appearing in brackets have been therefore excluded from the total)
The 1991-2002 F1 System
1st = 10 points; 4th = 3;
2nd = 6; 5th = 2;
3rd = 4; 6th = 1;

The MOTO GP Points System
1 = 25 points; 9 = 7;
2 = 20; 10 = 6;
3 = 16; 11 = 5;
4 = 13; 12 = 4;
5 = 11; 13 = 3;
6 = 10; 14 = 2;
7 = 9; 15 = 1;
8 = 8;
According to the FIM regulations, riders are classified if they complete 75% of the race distance within 5 minutes of the winner.

Due to the vast difference in timing between MotoGP and F1, we have used the above system only for those drivers who were classified under the FIA regulations for Formula One races. Therefore, in some races not all points were awarded.
Teams are awarded only for their best result in each race (the highest score of their two drivers).
